7.There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children?Or should they ever beat them?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no",and public support for spanking(打屁股)has been falling over the years.But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect,and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And,no,I don't feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
Two years ago,Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents u sed physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus,professor at the University of New Hampshire in America,has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked,but the punishment may have been counterproductive(反作用的)to their mental development,as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks(用巴掌打)on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year,Marjorie Gunnoe,a psychologist at Calvin College,studied teens who have never been spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished.Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾氣).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.

29.According to the first three paragraphs,the author was probably hit by her parents whenC.
A.they were dissatisfied with her grade
B.they cannot control their temper
C.she showed no respect for the elder
D.their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
30.According to Murray Straus,children who are physically punishedB.
A.a(chǎn)re less aggressive toward others when they get older
B.may develop lower IQs than their peers
C.benefit from occasional spanking
D.have slower physical development
31.The author seems to agree thatA.
A.good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
B.children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C.physical punishment should be the last resort (手段)of any parent
D.parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not.

分析 這是一篇議論文.文中主要談到了父母對孩子的體罰問題,文中重點講述了體罰對于孩子成長的一些負(fù)面影響.作者認(rèn)為好的父母應(yīng)該用一種公平理性的方式來約束他們的孩子.

解答 29.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段"I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect,and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And,no,I don't feel I was damaged by it."我是在一個對無禮零容忍的家庭中被養(yǎng)育長大的,并且我的父母經(jīng)常借助于體罰.然而,我沒有感到我被這種行為毀掉.由此可知,作者小時候可能因為無禮,被父母打過.故選C.
30.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的句子"Murray Straus,professor at the University of New Hampshire in America,has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers."可知Murray Straus認(rèn)為經(jīng)常被打屁股的孩子的智商比同齡人較低.故選B.
31.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)短文最后一段中的句子"But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline(紀(jì)律,約束) without ever turning to physical punishment."可知作者認(rèn)為好的父母應(yīng)該用一種公平理性的方式來約束他們的孩子.故選A.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

15.The mystery of why humans are the only animals to have chins may have been solved by scientists who suggest that it is connected to the invention of cooking.
A paper from the University of Florida tries to explain exactly why humans-unlike all other primates-have chins.
A team led by Dr.James Pampush collected information from more than 100kinds of primate and compared it with historical information.Computer modelling found how the chin developed.
Random genetic change was ruled out because the chin developed 77times faster than the average genetic change.And the study finds no evidence that it served a useful purpose.The research,published in the Journal of Human Evolution,suggests the chin is a by-product of another event.In this case,the event could well be the invention of cooking.
"The chin began to appear as a result of major changes six million years earlier.The arrival of cooking and softer food meant humans no longer needed big teeth and powerful jaws,and over the next two million years to 200,000years both got smaller and the chin was born,"said Dr.Pampush."My guess is that it most likely happened around two million years ago when there was a jump in brain size.The changes which finally lead to the chin are directly related to cooking,and indirectly related to larger brains and bodies."
Dr.Pampush's new theory goes against previous suggestions that the chin was an example of sexual selection,with attractive chins marking out men who are likely to make good mates.The fact that both men and women have chins means the theory is unlikely.
Another theory put forward in the past said that the chin was a way to balance out the stress of chewing,but Dr.Pampush also threw doubt on that idea.
32.The reason why we have chinsB.
A.is connected to humans'action of chewing
B.has something to do with cooking
C.is random genetic change
D.is related to eating time.
33.How did the researchers get their result?D
A.By carrying out experiments.
B.By studying scientific theories.
C.By examining the human brain.
D.By comparing recorded information.
34.Before developing chins,humansA.
A.had bigger teeth
B.cooked softer food
C.had smaller jaws
D.had larger bodies
35.According to Dr.Pampush,the chin most probably appeared aroundC.
A.6million years ago.
B.4million years ago
C.2million years ago
D.0.2million years ago.

2.Choosing the right college is one of the most important decisions-and many times the first important life decision-students will face.Many high school students may feel confused,especially those who want to study abroad.
"In the US,choosing colleges that are a good fit academically,financially and socially hopefully means that the student spends the next four years of their life in the‘right'college environment,happy with the selection (選擇) of majors offered,happy with the campus vibe (氛圍),"said Connie Pollack,a college admissions consultant (顧問) from Squirrel Hill,Pennsylvania in the US.
So how can you choose the right college?Here are Pollack's suggestions:
Location:Do you have specific (特定的) states you really want to go to?
Size:Smaller campuses have fewer services and activities,but larger colleges have bigger class sizes and less individual attention.
Majors:Which schools offer the major or activities you are most interested in?
Cost:Private colleges can be among the most expensive,but they often have the most generous (豐厚的) scholarship opportunities.
Type:Do you want to attend a two-or four-year college?Community colleges (兩年制社區(qū)大學(xué)) can also be a good cost-saving measure for students who are unsure of what they want to study.
It's important to take the time to research choices,and it is often helpful to come up with a three-part list of safety,target (目標(biāo)) and dream schools,said Pollack.
Safety schools are those that the student feels confident about being admitted to easily; target schools are those where the student would be happy but is unsure of acceptance; dream schools represent the student's ideal (理想的) schools,but are unlikely to accept the student.
"If students have taken the time to think about their needs,and know what each school offers and what it will cost to attend before they enroll (入學(xué)),it can pave (鋪) the road for a memorable (令人難忘的) college experience,"she said.

56.According to Ms Pollack's suggestions,D.
A.you should consider how far away the college you want to apply to is from your home
B.if your family is not rich enough,you should forget about private colleges
C.smaller campuses usually cannot compete with larger ones when it comes to the quality of services
D.community colleges could be good choices for those who are short on funding and unclear about their majors
57.From the part about the three-part list of schools,we can conclude thatA.
A.the target schools are those that are a little above the students'level
B.the dream schools are completely above the students'level and should not be thought about further
C.making this type of list could help students by encouraging them to work harder for their dream schools
D.students should focus only on their target and dream schools after they make this type of list
58.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph meansB.
A.saving students money and time
B.doing good research into the right colleges
C.comparing what different schools have to offer
D.taking the time to think about students'needs.

12.HAVE you ever gotten a song kept in your head?You sing it all the time-on your way to school,before sleep,even when you're sitting on the toilet.You want to forget it,but the music just keeps sounding in your head.
Some people call these annoying songs"earworms"because they are just like parasites(寄生蟲)-they"live"in your ears and refuse to leave even when you tell them to.
But why do some songs become earworms and not others?According to Ira Hyman,a music psychologist at Western Washington University,people are more likely to remember songs that are simple and repetitive,especially ones with that type of music."Choruses tend to get stuck in your head because they are the bit we know best,"Hyman told The Tele-graph.
If you've got an earworm,you can suffer an attack without even hearing it.Seeing words from the song or hearing someone mention it could both cause the domino effect that starts the song running.
Scientists have been trying to find a solution to deal with earworms.They say the best way is to fill your mind with something else.But here is the tricky part:the task you do should be neither too hard nor too easy.The harder you try not to think about the music,the more you won't be able to help it.On the contrary,a task like jogging which is too easy won't keep your brain busy enough,and that could allow the song to come back.
"The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge."said Hymen.Reading a difficult book or a good novel could count.

21.What can we 1earn from the passage?A
A.People may sing earworms everywhere.
B.You can suffer an attack of an earworm on hearing it.
C.You can forget the melody by trying hard not to think about it.
D.Hearing someone sing the song can't start the song running in your head.
22.What kinds of songs will probably become earworms?C
A.Classical songs.
B.Songs we 1ike best.
C.Simple and repetitive songs.
D.Songs that are unfinished.
23.According to the article,if you want to get rid of earworms,you shouldC.
A.Listen to a new song
B.Try not to think of the song
C.Read an interesting novel
D.Do some exercise like jogging.

19.English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.Learning English well is very important.Here are some methods that can help you learn English well.
Do a lot of listening.Listen to recordings of your teacher,the radio,TV video cassettes
audio cassettes一anything that you can get your hands on.Just listen to English as much as you can and you will learn a lot.
Every time you learn something new,write it down in a notebook.This will help you remember what you have learned.Buy a notebook and use it only for practicing English.
Try to read English one hour every day.Yes,this is difficult,but English has many words,and a good way to enlarge your vocabulary is to read them.
Whenever you have the chance,speak English.This will be hard to do if you don't live in
an English-speaking country.However,the Internet provides new chances to practice speaking English through chat rooms and audio-video chat technology.You can also record your voice using a recorder.
Find a few different websites that you can go to daily.Don't pay for instruction over the In-ternet.Some websites require monthly or yearly fees but they aren't worth it.
Learn from a teacher.If it's possible,you should try to learn from as many different teachers as possible,but at the very least find one teacher and learn from that person.

16.Could your cellphone give you cancer?Whether it could or not,some people are worrying about the possibility that phones,power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses,from rashes to brain tumors.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties.David Carpenter,a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany,in New York,thinks there's a greater than 95percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血。瓵lso there's a greater than 90percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors."It's apparent now that there's a real risk,"said Carpenter.
But others believe these concerns are unjustified.Dr Martha Linet,the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病學(xué)) at the US National Cancer Institute,has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion."I don't support warning labels for cellphones,"said Linet."We don't have the evidence that there's much danger."
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (電磁場) and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer,in 13countries outside the US,has been underway for several years.It's funded in part by the European Union,in part by a cellphone industry group.The final report should come out later this year,but data so far don't suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

12.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried becauseC.
A.they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer
B.they make a fuss over cellphone use
C.some experts have given a warning
D.cellphones are responsible for brain tumors
13.By saying"I don't support warning labels for cellphones,"Dr Martha Linet has the idea thatA.
A.the worrying is unnecessary
B.cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones
C.there is a link between cellphones and cancer
D.cellphones have nothing to do with cancer
14.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?B
A.Optimistic.
B.Objective.
C.Opposite.
D.Casual.
15.What's the best title of the passage?A
A.Cellphones:is there a cancer link?
B.There is a link between cellphone and cancer.
C.A research on the cellphone.

17.The Winner's Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful?To find out the answers,an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.
(36)G
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.In fact,when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success,you're giving away your own power.(37)D
Write a plan.
It's very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan.It's just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.(38)A Without this"map",you may waste your time,money and also your energy; while with the"map",you will enjoy the"trip"and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
(39)F
Nothing great is easy to get.So you must be ready to work hard---even harder than you have ever done.If you are not willing to pay the price,you won't get anything valuable.
Never give up.
(40)BWhen you are doing something,you must tell yourself again and again:Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success,but giving up means the death of hope.

A.A good plan is like a map to you.
B.It seems to us that everyone knows this,but it is easier said than done.
C.Some people achieve success much later in life because they don't work hard  earlier.
D.You're saying,"You have more control over my life than I do."
E.Someone else's opinions of you don't have to become your reality.
F.Be willing to pay the price.
G.Here are some keys to success that they give.
